From Complexity to Confidence: How Drata Reduced Superhuman’s Workload By 67%
Overcoming Compliance Barriers to Enterprise Growth
As Superhuman grew and targeted mid-to-enterprise-level customers, demonstrating robust compliance became essential to Collin Clifford, Compliance and Legal Program Manager, for securing larger contracts and expanding market presence. However, with only one person dedicated to compliance, managing frameworks like SOC 2 and GDPR was labor-intensive and prone to delays. The lack of a centralized GRC platform for risk assessment, evidence gathering, and control monitoring created inefficiencies and limited scalability. Additionally, their sales team faced repetitive security inquiries from prospective clients, which consumed significant time and delayed deal closures.
Maintaining transparency and meeting the high standards expected by enterprise clients became an increasingly challenging task.
Superhuman’s Compliance Reinvented with Drata
Drata revolutionized Superhuman’s GRC Program by centralizing and automating key processes. With Drata’s Continuous Control Monitoring, Risk Assessment and Trust Center, Collin gained real-time insights and comprehensive oversight of compliance efforts. Drata’s intuitive dashboards and automated workflows made audits simpler, reducing manual tasks and highlighting gaps needing attention.
“Drata’s automation saves me countless hours, allowing me to focus on strategic initiatives and long-term planning.”
Trust Center quickly became essential for sales, transparently showcasing compliance reports and certifications to prospective clients. Collin explained, “With Trust Center, we can instantly show customers that we meet their expectations, reducing back-and-forth and building trust early.” By automating evidence collection and monitoring, Drata allowed Superhuman to align compliance initiatives with its broader growth goals efficiently. Drata’s seamless integrations and real-time reporting eliminated guesswork, empowering the team to stay proactive.
“Drata helped us reduce friction in the sales cycle, close deals faster, and maintain the high standards enterprise customers expect.”
Collin credited Drata’s support team for helping prioritize and resolve compliance issues effectively, turning an overwhelming process into a streamlined, manageable routine. He noted, “At first, I didn’t really understand the monitoring module... but with help from Drata’s team and our engineers, we resolved numerous red flags within about two months.” Today, compliance operations are more agile and strategic, supporting Superhuman’s ambitious expansion goals while maintaining the highest standards of data security.
The ROI of Automation for Compliance
Drata reduced Collin’s workload by 67%, enabling a shift from daily operational tasks to strategic initiatives that drive long-term success. With Drata’s Risk Library, the team identified over 50 risks—up from just 8 previously—providing a more comprehensive understanding of potential vulnerabilities and enabling more effective mitigation strategies. The Trust Center reduced repetitive inquiries by 60-70%, streamlining interactions with potential clients and significantly enhancing credibility with enterprise customers. These efficiencies not only saved time but also accelerated deal closures, contributing to Superhuman’s ability to scale while maintaining robust compliance. The enhanced compliance posture now supports rapid growth and builds trust with a broader customer base, positioning Superhuman as a leader in secure and innovative email solutions.
